windows fucking movie maker

ok I got this problem with windows movie maker, when it comes to saving the movie file. the vid is a minute long. I click on save movie file. I name it, and I chose the bit rate: 2,1 mbps. then I click next. the wizard estimates the time remaining. its estimates 123456364 minutes going up. then it goes to 3245, then 204, then 40 minutes. but instead of starting to save the movie, there is no percentage of progress and the minutes start going up. I let it go all night and when I came to see, it was at 1121243246 minutes going up. I dont know what to do and this situation is very frustrating because I need this video saved for tomorrow. anybody can help (like Madis since he knows alot about computers or anyone else...)?

Im desperate... :(

EDIT: and omg I realized its friday the 13th... Im out of luck lol

the file is a minute long. I used the same camera I alwways use, and it always works usually.

when you get to the save options screen just pick best quality for playback. Also close any other programs that are open that you don't need open (AIM, MSN, internet, etc.) that might help.

WMM is the sketchiest editor out there, it started giving me problems a few months ago. Not sure if they were the same as yours. Talk to me on AIM when I get back from Nate's this monday. If you want I could give ya Vegas.

ok nvm. I still got a problem. it works, but when its at 75% ish, my comp closes down and doesnt restart for another 10 minutes. Its sooo fucked up! and also when I save it, I make sure all the other programs are closes so thats not the problem... this is total shit cuz Ive put tons of time into that vid :(
